ABSTRACT
Background:
Juvenile papillomatosis (JP) of the breast is a rare and benign proliferative disorder affecting young women. The affected patients tend to have an increased risk of breast cancer development during follow-up.Objective:
This article aims to highlight a rare entity of breast disease, that harbor risk of breast cancer. Case Presentation Here, we present 2 cases of JP in young females; the first case is a 13 year-old presented with spontaneous nipple discharge, while the other patient is a 24 year-old presented with a right breast lump. Both patients had a total excision of the breast lesions, revealing JP at histology.Discussion:
Juvenile Papillomatosis is considered a clinicopathological entity and is usually misdiagnosed as fibroadenoma clinically and radiologically, which requires histological correlation. The histologic findings are well-defined (hyperplasia, papillomatosis, and multiple cysts with foamy histiocytes).The controversy in management between surgery and observation is because of insufficient knowledge about the direct relationship between JP and subsequent cancer.Conclusion:
Considering the risk of developing breast cancer in JP, enrolling patients and their families in a close follow-up and surveillance program is crucial.Palabras clave
